This is The Do It For Yourself Podcast.  Each week I sit down with someone who is doing it for themselves and chasing a dream they just couldn’t suppress.  This is often speakers, entrepreneurs, or athletes.  They all share one thing in common, they are overcoming challenges and never giving up.  Someone who is Doing It For Themselves is not selfish in their pursuit, they are simply chasing a dream or working towards a goal because it is something THEY want to do.  They are not forging down a path because society or someone is telling them it’s what they should be doing.

 

This week my guest on the show is Tim Ford.  Time is an elite level half Ironman triathlete as well as a coach and CEO of Team Macca X, a podcaster and still finds time to work a full-time job.  Tim is chasing a goal of a 4:05 70.3 time, which is blazing fast.  When Tim first entered this sport though, he completed his first olympic distance race in 4:05.  From that experience, Tim discusses how he fell in love with both the cycling and the feeling of coming across that finish line.  

 

Tim continued to train and began monitoring the food he was consuming.  After coming up with some creative ways to adapt his favorite dishes to be on the healthier side, Tim realized he could still enjoy food and lose weight at the same time!  He has gone on to complete over 100 races and is still on his quest to do a 70.3 in the same amount of time it took him to do his first race.  

 

I really enjoyed this chance to sit down and hear this story from Tim and I hope you enjoy it as well!
